Hi there! My boyfriend said he needed some time alone and I agreed to do the same. After that,I saw him online on WhatsApp at 1 in the night. We both have this mutual friend who is like a sister to him. She wanted us to date but then weirded out when he told her he likes me. She said it's weird that her best friends date and she would distance herself from us. Inspite of this we are dating... And I saw both of them online even at 4 in the morning. When he saw that I was online too... He sent me a message saying sorry he couldn't talk to me... He was frustrated and thought it would be shown on me. I felt really really bad that he said he wanted time alone and still was online which meant he's talking to that mutual friend. I was pissed off too and said next time he'll communicate better when he's low. He told me he's not used to talking about issues. But then my question was if he wants to be left alone...why was he online and talking to his so called sister.I am mad at him.. Though I'm talking to him.. It's still Bothering me...am I overreacting here?

It seems he knew he was upset in general (not at you) but would bring it out on you if he talked. Sounds like he was being very smart in an upset state of mind if you ask me. You have to realize, you are his girlfriend, but sometimes when he's down, he needs an old close friend for an ear. It's nothing against you. My girlfriend does similar things. She doesn't talk about her issues well with me, but she does her best male friends. That's just how they are.
I would say stop being mad at him, and give him the time he needs. It wont be long, and pestering him will make him made at you in the end.
PS, if you have more questions and would like to end the back and forth on Advicenators, I'd be more than happy to continue over email, or some other communication app. [ sillyrob's advice column | Ask sillyrob A Question ]
